Lisnagry is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Curraghaviller, Ryninch Upper, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a south-east-facing slope in a mountainous area, forming a large circular space measuring 46 metres north-south and 44 metres east-west. An earth and stone bank, 2.9 metres wide and standing 1.1 to 2 metres high, encloses the site, while a 1.9-metre-wide external ditch runs alongside it. A possible 1.5-metre entrance gap appears at the south-west, though a road intersects the bank at the north-east.
